Why would he do that? Because once the dollar is worthless, we will be taken over by the World Government.

A citizen who shirks his duty to contribute to the security of his community is little better than the criminal who threatens it.

Considering the state of the U.S. economy, we shouldn't be sending ANY cash. I understand providing humanitarian assistance in the form of personnel from government agencies, and possibly food and other supplies. If private citizens wish to donate, that would be their option.

Being the the U.S. is broke, at war and in serious financial trouble, shipping millions of dollars overseas to a sovereign foreign nation isn't a very responsible thing to be doing at this point in time.

I feel for the folks in Haiti, but we need to take care of the American people before we're able to assist others.

Not only is Obama sending $100 million in aid to Haiti but he's also saying that we will rebuild it. The pockets of our citizenry don't go that deep. IMHO he's been trying to bankrupt our nation from the beginning of his administration. $4 trillion in added debt in only 1 year speaks for itself.

The US military should be there because it is the only organization on the planet that can provide the logistical support needed at this time.

The American people will step up and provide more support than the rest of the world combined.

The US government should not give a single dime of monetary support because we have already given billions with no accountability what so ever.

he is following the teaching of clowerd&piven! and the old communist saying "we will destroy you from within"

Our politicians have been steadily working to destroy the middle class for a long time and Obama may do more than any before him. They want a ruling elite class with everyone else to be surfs.
